Hannah's Art Competition

Do you like art competitions?

Hannah entered on in lockdown.

Read her blog post here and see how she got on.

First week back at school

We were so excited to be back at school. This week we tried to continue some of the online learning we had started. This was all about computational thinking and coding. We set up a breakout game based on coding and we were successful in breaking in just in the knick of time!
We also created a physical computer - one student was the programmer, one the bot and one the computer. It was hard to not think like a human and to just read or follow the instruction written even if it was wrong!

Reflections about our class

School Liturgy - 11th May

We gathered as a school community in prayer and song .  Today we learned that Jesus is the way, truth and life.  By sharing the love of Jesus we are building our relationship with God.

We recognised students from each class both digital and school classrooms. The shout out from Room 3 went to Emma for her great learning and for being a fabulous teacher assistant during our digital class meetings.  Congratulations Emma!

Monday School Liturgy 4th May

We came together as a school for liturgy today. Some joined from our school bubbles others in their home bubbles. During the Month of May we honour St Mary Jesus's mother. We also thank God for our own mothers.
We recognised Jaden from Room 3 with a certificate for the great work on our learning hub tasks and for joining all our class google meetings.
Congratulations Jaden from Mrs Tilley and Mrs Aperahama

Camille for helping to lead the learning during class google meetings and completing all tasks to a high standard.
Congratulations to you both from Mrs Tilley and Mrs Aperahama

Modelled writing lesson

This week we have been learning about how electronics work. We read a text about a group of students at a school who used mini computers linked to electronic circuits to create a representation of the Matariki stars. This triggered our learning tasks where we had a go at making virtual circuits from scratch and then we wrote a simple explanation describing this.
